Is that legal? Cumulus owns five stations and the Zonecorp (Stephen King's
company) where I work owns two stations, five plus two is seven.....I
thought no single company could own more then 50% of the market? Did I
miss any posts about this? This has been something I have been wondering
about since their acquisition of WWBX and WABI-AM.....it just doesn't seem
right nor fair to me.....of course I am somewhat biased too :)
